In this study also discussed the effects on income that can be followed by presentation in financial statements. The financial statements intended in this study are limited to income reports or Net Profit The results showed that the measurement of inventory cost based on the cost flow method using the FIFO, LIFO method, Simple Average, Weighted Average and Special Cost Method displays the different final inventory values, as well as the measurement method. impact on the presentation of income statements. FIFO produces the smallest HPP so that the highest net income and tax. LIFO produces the largest HPP so that it produces low net income and taxes.
